Triple MFOS VCO demo

YouTube Published on Aug 27, 2012 by Richarius Molindarius

"As per request, this is a shorter video showing my 3 Music From Outer Space - Voltage Controlled Oscillators, singing away as conducted by my 8 Step CGS (Serge) Programmer Sequencer. :)
As I say in the video - the 3 x VCOs outputs are Sinewaves (attempts. Fine tuning needed still in 1 of them.) But - the Pulse wave output from #2, is being fed into the Sync input of #3! :) This makes for some wonderful harmonic changes through the video, once I turn #3's volume up.
Hope you enjoy. :)"

If anyone knows where to find the schematics for the Triadex Muse, please comment or email me.

"The item does not work properly, but does power up. The internal speaker appears to be blown, and has partially separated from the inner chassis. This is a fairly generic 3" 8 ohm speaker that should be easy to locate. However, the external speaker connection reveals that the oscillator is working, but just delivers a single tone.
The sequencer lights appear to be working, and will change configuration to match the position of the control sliders. The top section of green gel filter has slipped down between the front panel and the circuit board, so just bare white bulbs are visible on the very top section of lights. All of the lights appear to be working properly. The volume slider handle is broken off below the front panel. It is operable, and will control the volume. For someone with the technical ability to troubleshoot logic and analog audio circuitry to the component level could repair this item."

Moog Music 3rd Anual Circuit Benting Contest

via Moog Music Inc. on Facebook

"Wake up, Benders, Modders, and Hardware Hackers; it's time for the third annual Moog Circuit Bending Challenge! This year, we were so inspired by Google's amazing tribute to Bob Moog with the groundbreaking Moog Doodle, we've decided to incorporate it into the festivities.

Here's what you need to know: This year's contest is to create a circuit bent sampler. Film your bend process and a musical performance with your final creation. The device you bend does not have to originally be a sampler, it just needs to be able to sample external sounds after the bends and mods have been put in place & it must be able to take samples on the fly with no computer interface needed. Also, the sampler must be solely populated with sounds from Google's amazing Moog Doodle.
